Who's Smarter?

A woman was out golfing ("играла в гольф") one day when she hit ("ударила") her ball into the woods ("в лес"). She went into the woods to look for it ("искать его") and found a frog ("лягушку") in a trap ("в капкане").

The frog said to her, "If you release ("выпустишь") me from this trap, I will grant ("дам") you three wishes ("желания")." She did and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed ("забыла") to mention ("упомянуть") that there is a condition ("условие") to your wishes. Whatever you wish for ("что бы ты ни пожелала"), your husband ("муж") will get ("получит") 10 times more ("в десять раз больше")!"

The woman said, "That's okay." For her first ("первое") wish, she wanted ("пожелала") to be the most beautiful ("самой красивой") woman in the world ("в мире").

The frog warned ("предупредила") her, "You do realize ("ты же понимаешь") that this wish will also ("также") make ("сделает") your husband the most handsome ("самым красивыми") man in the world, and women will flock ("увиваться; липнуть") to him."

The woman replied ("ответила"), "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman, and he will only have eyes ("будет желать только") for me." So, BANG ("бум") — she became the most beautiful woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest ("самой богатой") woman in the world. The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world, and he will be ten times richer ("богаче") than you."

The woman said, "That's okay because what's mine ("что мое") is his ("то его") and what's his is mine." So, BANG — she became the richest woman in the world!

The frog asked her what she would like ("что бы она хотела") for her third wish. She said, "I'd like a mild ("легкий") heart attack ("сердечный приступ")."
